Vulnerability discussion

OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) is a cloud based storage feature that introduces the capability for users to save documents to locations outside of protected enclaves. This feature introduces the risk that FOUO and PII data, as well as other DoD protected data, may be inadvertently stored in a nonsecure location. This setting, which will prompt the user to sign in to OneDrive while performing a file save operation, must be disabled.

Check content

Verify the policy value for User Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Microsoft Office 2013 >> Miscellaneous .> "Show OneDrive Sign In" is set to "Disabled". Use the Windows Registry Editor to navigate to the following hive: HKEY_Users For every users profile hive under HKEY_Users, navigate to the following key: \software\Policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\common\general If the value “SkyDriveSignInOption” is REG_DWORD = 0 for every user profile hive, this is not a finding.

Fix text

Set the policy value for User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Office 2013 -> Miscellaneous -> "Show OneDrive Sign In" to "Disabled".

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
